Okay, no, I didn't update just to point out how weirdly cute the Lego!Daleks are, but rather to discuss the most recent developments as far as the next season of Doctor Who is concerned. Oh yes, ya'll know what I'm talking about! (And for those of you who don't-

Billy Piper is set to return as Rose Tyler for three episodes next season [source]

-now you do!)

Now, half my flist has already exploded with SQUEE and FLAIL and OMGYAYNESS which I'm totally all for as I kind of liked the chick, but I'm also aware that there are a few people out ther NOT AMUSED by the whole thing, which again I can totally understand. But neither of these things is here or there to the actual issue I want to address.

In the press release we're told that "Rose' return will mean the Doctor has three assistants in next year's series", the other two of course being listed Martha and Donna. Umm... but isn't Jack coming back too? Isn't he going to be a companion too?? Or, in the words of someone who isn't me- "Does having a penis mean he doesn't count or something?"! [link] OMGFLAIL OF DISTRESS !! Why isn't Jack being counted as a companion? I mean he is SO MUCH MORE AWESOME THAN ANY OF THE FEMALE ONES!!! XD

I'm already grring about the fact that Martha, and probably Donna aswell, will be shuved to the side one Rose appears, and now I'm even more annoyed! what about Jack? what if he gets even less to do than he did in Lottl? meep, Jack's amazing and so, so much more amazing than any of the female companions though I do love Martha *cries*

Though on the press release front, I know John has let slip that he's going back to Who, but was there ever a proper press release? and Liz Sladen is rumoured to be back aswell, and she hasn't been mentioned. stops to count Woah, if they're all in it at the same time, that's five companions, plus Rose's family will probably make an appearance. Man it'll be crazy.

Hear Hear!! Aside from the Jack thing my first reaction was- what about Martha? Wasn't it bad enough the Doctor was emoing over Rose most of the time she was with him? And now they're going to bring her back!! I mean, I did adore Rose and I secretly shipped the Rose/Doctor malarky but Martha is a whole new level of awesome!! I mean, the girl has sass and brains and stuff like that XD

I figure they'll either become BFF or there'll be a whole load of resentment going on.

You're right, nothing has been officially confirmed, but this post was really just to have a laugh about the whole idea of a Tardis orgy as opposed to any real critique about companions! And to show off the AWESOME LEGO!DALEKS XD haha

First of all, I just want to say that I actually have nothing against the character Rose(except for the fact that I hate the idea of 9 or 10/Rose; but I hate anyone being with the Doctor except for Jack ;) or Billie Piper herself.

Now that's over with, can I just say much of a mistake this is? I mean, what was the whole point of having that whole sad ending on 'Doomsday', and saying there was no possible way for her to be back; when what do they do? They bring her back. >.<

Also, I completely agree with you about the Jack as a companion thing. I just don't understand how he's not one. Although, since he never stays for long, he has earned himself the title of 'The Doctor's Quickie', in my eyes. ;)

*puts down stone and throws marshmellows at you instead* ^_^

P.S. Almost forgot what I was going to say to start with. Lego!Daleks are cute! *huggles them*

::cooks marshmallows over the flames many fangirls will be sending:: Yummy!! ;D

And yeah, what is that all about!? Unless she's going to fall through the rift into Cardiff, get picked up by Torchwood, reunite with Jack whilst Martha is there, the Doctor rocks up coz *obviously* the world is about to end again and WHAMBAM BIG ANGSTY REUNION OF DOOM!!! ::flaily::

I had noticed that too though, the way Jack didn't seem to get put into the 'companion' box. They sort of put him in the 'fellow time traveller' box instead though I'm not sure why because frankly if you go in the Tardis then you're a companion. All matters of awesomeness aside...because sadly awesomeness cannot be used as some sort of space currency :(

I wonder if they have some kind of 'length of service' thing in which you're only classes as a companion if you travel for so long on the Tardis? Hrmm! Jack should count purely for giving up his life at the end of S1. And for all the wangsty/smexy tension he and the Doctor clearly have!!

OMG! I want Doctor Who legos! No, seriously-- where can I get them?! You get all the nifty toys over there on your side of the pond. *pout*

Re: Rose: I'm wary, but I'm waiting to see whether Stephen Moffat wrote the episode(s), 'cause if he did, I'll trust him to pull it off. ;)

I'm curious about the storyline that brings back ALL of these companions, though... and I wonder if The Doctor is going to be confronted with his disregard for his companions' feelings and is going to have to come to terms with how he fits into the Human World-- 'cause even though he's not human, he affects our world and anyone he comes in contact with. As Sarah Jane has said a couple of different times in her show, "Once the Universe shows you something, it's impossible to turn away from it."

Lol, I'm not actually sure where to buy it XD probably some place like Toys'R'us or something, just do a google search and something should come up!!

If Moffat writes it, then we'll know it'll be brilliant, so I'll have no qualms at all! Though... it's not that I'm against the idea, just... yeah 'wary' is the word! I do hope they pull it off!!

Have you read any of the DW novels? I'm reading the 8th Doctor ones at the moment, and though the Doctor has a great ability to love his companions he does tend to have this disregard- or just an inibility- to grasp their "emotions" as you say. I don't know if it's something that can be addressed though. Perhaps they'll try, who knows, we'll just have to cross our fingers, eh?

OMG *lol* I want a child so I can buy all this stuff for it. Lego is awesome.

So looking forward to next season! Already counting days to the Christmas Special. And wondering where I'll get it from, as I can't get BBC here :(

I don't think that Jack is counted as companion, he doesn't stay for long enough. Is he ever invited to travel with the Doctor? Plus, he's an error in time. Undoubtedly more awesome than the women, that goes without saying.

Ooo look at the pretty lego! I want lego again! I miss paying with lego!!! How cool would it be to have DW and TW lego!!! I would seriously love that! :P lol (I'm a kid I tell ya, I want lego!!)

On the whole "Rose Returning" side of things. If and I stress the if, they can explain a, how she manages to obviously somehow ge back here properly and not with just a throw away line, it won't bother me too much. If they mess the whole thing up and have bascially said lets ignore Doomsday then I'll be pissed!

But I'm waiting till it airs to hold judgement!!! It will be cool though to see the Doctor trying to placate all of them, especially if all of them start fighting!
